2026 Rebate Highlights: Most whole-home projects qualify for $5,000 to $8,000 in direct rebates. Reabates cover up to 50% of the work.
-
$8,000 Max Rebate: For homeowners who switch entirely to electric heating and remove their old oil or propane tanks.
-
$5,000 Rebate: For whole-home heat pump installations where the old backup system remains in place.
-
$1,250 Instant Rebate: For high-efficiency heat pump water heaters.

Home Energy Assessments
Home Performance with Energy Star can help you lower your energy bills and make your home safer and more comfortable!
With a priority on health and safety, Kool-Temp Heating & Cooling Inc. performs a Comprehensive Home Assessment. We use the latest in technology to look at the performance of your home with respect to health, safety, and energy efficiency.
During your comprehensive home assessment we check the following:
- Health and safety (Carbon Monoxide/Mold/Moisture Problems)
- Air infiltration rates using the blower door and thermal imaging camera
- Insulation levels
- Domestic hot water system spillage tests
- Heating system efficiency, Draft test, Smoke test, and Carbon Monoxide
- Cooling system efficiency
- Distribution system (ductwork)
- Lighting
- Major appliances
We use a number of diagnostic tools during the home assessment.
Some of the tools that we use are:
- Carbon Monoxide (CO) Analyzer: Measures the CO levels in your home and heating equipment.
- Blower Door: Measures the tightness of a home and helps identify where infiltration is present.
- Duct Blaster: Measures how leaky your ductwork is.
- Thermal Imaging Camera: Allows you to see heat transfer through the walls, helps to see where infiltration is entering your home.
Contact us to schedule a home energy assessment for your home and learn how you can save.
